Besides the MCU, Check Out a Series of Films that Share the Same Universe Through Their Characters

Written by: Adristi Putri Febrianti
 
Before the existence of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the concept of sharing a single universe in filmmaking was not common. Films released a decade ago were more focused on developing original stories rather than creating sequels.

However, among many original films, there are a few that are actually connected within the same universe. These films are designed to be interconnected through small clues or dialogue spoken by their characters.

If KLovers are curious about the films that share that universe, let’s check out the list below!
